There's definitely an audience for Dokapon Kingdom: Connect, but it's important to know it's a long haul game that forces you to be ruthless.
Cassette Beasts is a great monster collector game with a lot of depth to its combat, refreshing mechanics, and a beautiful overarching narrative about finding community, home, and love no matter where you are.

The Switch version of DNF Duel is a wild, ridiculous fighter with some neat systems to keep you invested in each battle. It's still the weakest release among all platforms, though.

Process of Elimination is a decent murder mystery with a ton of interesting ideas that never quite get used to their full potential.
Melon Journey: Bittersweet Memories has a great aesthetic and can feel like a slice-of-life investigation of seedy situations, but it has a few pits.
Norn9: Var Commons attempts to do a lot and, while it is an enjoyable otome game and at its best on the Switch, some routes are more satisfying than others.
GrimGrimoire OnceMore is one of those rereleases that not only acts as a remaster, but includes meaningful quality of life adjustments that make the experience better.
Record of Agarest War could have been an interesting generational RPG, but the fanservice and bloated mechanics water down the experience. Switch version reviewed.
Atelier Ryza 3 is a game that makes good on its promises. We've spent years getting to know Ryza and her friends and learning more about their world. Now there's this pay-off that really feels fulfilling.
